Lessons for Sunday, September 7
First Reading: Ezekiel 33:7–11
God appointed Ezekiel as a sentinel for the house of Israel. Ezekiel must faithfully convey God's warnings to the people. Remarkably, God—who is about to attack Jerusalem—gives a warning with the hope that repentance will make the attack unnecessary.
Psalm (ELW): Psalm 119:33–40
I desire the path of your commandments. (Ps. 119:35)
Second Reading: Romans 13:8–14
The obligation of Christians is to love one another and so fulfill the heart and goal of the law. Clothes make the person as we "put on the Lord Jesus Christ" and live today in light of the future God has in store for us.
Gospel: Matthew 18:15–20
Jesus offers practical advice to his disciples on how individuals—and the church as a whole—should show wrongdoers their need for repentance.
